Meddysong Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I'm updating all of my various sites today in anticipation of moving to a new server which only has PHP 8.x. I've not had a problem with my main site, which was IC 4.5.x or 4.6.x. All I had to do was start the upgrade, get an error pointing out that the PHP version (then 7.4) was too low. I changed the version on the server and restarted the upgrade. I'm caught in a trap with one of my sites, though, which is on 4.4.6. When I start the upgrade I get the anticipated message informing me about the incorrect version, although this takes a different form from earlier: it's an error message telling me that I need to increase the PHP version. The problem occurs when I change the PHP version on the server. With the other site I could recommence the update. With this one, however, I'm stuck in vicious cycle: anything I try in the ACP results in a 500 error, and I have to restore PHP to 7.4. Then when I attempt to upgrade, I get the error message, increase the PHP version, get my server error if I try anything, and repeat. I'm not sure what the solution is. How do I work around the ACP informing me that I need to increase the PHP version to proceed if doing so then causes the site to crash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Explosion Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Don't use the auto uograder. Manually upgrade...download the files, upload them to your site, change the PHP version (after ensuring that the ips4.php checker says all OK) and go directly to /admin/upgrade, or whatever it is.
